2009 ECF Royalty
Torrie Boyle
2009 Elbert County Fair Queen
Tanna Boyle
2009 Elbert County Princess
Hi everyone! My name is Torrie Boyle and I am your 2009 Elbert County Fair Queen. I am 16 years old. I am currently in Timber Ridge Outlaws 4-H club and I have been in 4-H for 7 years. This year in 4-H I will be participating in Market Swine, Roping and Horsemanship classes. I was also a sophomore at Simla High School this past year and was a part of SADD, FCA, and was accepted to be in the National Society of High School Scholars. I also played volleyball, which I plan to continue. My hobbies outside of 4-H and school are snowboarding, photography and hanging out with my friends.
My parents are Lori Ellefson, Tim Ellefson, Pete Boyle and Michelle Boyle. I have an older sister named April and two younger siblings; my sister Tanna and my brother Hagen. I thank my parents for working schedules out and always supporting me, hauling horses, helping my get ready, and putting up with me early in the morning. J I also thank my great-grandma for making us beautiful shirts. A very special thanks to my sister Tanna for being such a wonderful and beautiful princess. Love ya, sis.
Along with attending numerous royalty brunches and making friends with royalty across the state, Tanna and I have attended the CASA benefit, Children’s Hospital, Whiz Kids, National Western Stock Show, the Rocky Mountain Horse Expo and too many rodeos to count. We also had the privilege to travel to Las Vegas and attend the WNFR.
I feel saddened when I think about my reign coming to an end. I had so much fun representing the best county in Colorado. Many thanks to all who sponsored us. Without you this would not have been possible. A special thanks to Priscilla Schnell and Debbie Mills – you made this year very busy, exciting and fun. Thank you very much PJ Trostel, Lacy Seufer and Mandy Taylor – without you there would be no royalty program.
I invite you all to come to the 75th Elbert County Fair. We are dedicated to producing top of the line livestock and we are dedicated most importantly to having fun!
Love, Torrie

My hobbies outside of 4-H are snowboarding, horse back riding,
volleyball, basketball, and track.
I am very thankful to have all the helpful, wonderful people to help me with my duties. Like my mom, Lori, my dad, Pete and my step-dad, Tim, and my step-mom, Michelle. I would also like to thank great-grandma for making our beautiful royalty shirts. Without my family, I would be nowhere. I would also like to thank Debbie Mills and Priscilla Schnell for notifying us about fun events coming up so we could go. You guys are wonderful people. And of course I would like to thank my totally awesome, amazing, pretty sister! Torrie has always been there for me in whatever I do and now she is actually doing the duties with me! I couldn’t think of a better queen to have! Love ya so much Torrie! J You told me to never give up trying, and the number three is a charm. Well, we both did it sis! Thank you so much!
PJ Trostel, Lacy Seufer and Mandy Taylor; I want to thank you for donating your time to make the entire royalty program the most wonderful it can get! And it wouldn’t be anything without our sponsors. Thank you!
I am very sad that my reign is coming to an end. It has been so much fun going to the National Western Stock Show, Rocky Mountain Horse Expo, Whiz Kids, CASA benefit, attending all of the other county fairs, and the Children’s Hospital. To see children’s faces light up when they see rodeo royalty makes my day.
I wanted to thank everyone one more time and I hope to see you at the 75th annual Elbert County Fair!
Love, Tanna J
